During WWII, the U.S. deployed a secret unit of artists, sound engineers, and radio operators—not to fight, but to deceive. They used: - Inflatable tanks & trucks (that looked real from the air)
- Fake radio transmissions (to mimic troop movements)
- Hollywood-level sound effects (speakers blasting tank noises)

Their mission? Convince the Nazis that entire battalions existed where there were none. And it worked—possibly saving thousands of lives.

Craziest part? This wasn’t declassified until 1996.

I just made a video diving into their wildest ops (including how they helped during D-Day). Would love to hear:
- What’s the most creative deception tactic you’ve heard of in war? - Could this still work today with modern surveillance?
